Dr. Louise Lubin is a licensed clinical psychologist in Norfolk, Virginia who has practiced adult, marital, and family therapy for nearly forty years. With her focus on survivorship in chronic and life-threatening illnesses, she developed programs and a website “Many Paths to Healing” for hospital systems and physician groups to provide patients with the necessary tools to cope and manage the challenges of illness.

✨A few highlights from the show:
1. Cancer demands that you learn how to take care of yourself, communicate, and ask for what you need. You must be assertive!
2. We have control over what we "think" is happening to us.
3. It is counterproductive to feel guilty about having cancer.
4. People need to take their cues from the patient.
5. Listen has the same letters as silent!

Visible Symptoms of Prostate Cancer and the Benefits of Being a Member of the 7 O'Clock Club with Barry Furey
Barry Furey has been involved in public safety since 1970, having served as a fire officer in three states and a 9-1-1 director in four. Additionally, he has provided consulting services worldwide and is an award-winning author. At age 70, he spends most of his time as a dad of three children under eleven, the youngest born after his battle with prostate cancer.
✨A few highlights from the show:
1. Prostate cancer is known as a 'silent killer' due to not usually causing any symptoms until it has grown large enough to put pressure on the urethra. Typically, there is no discomfort in the very early stages of prostate cancer.
2. Many men's prostates get larger as they get older because of a non-cancerous condition called benign prostate enlargement.
3. Firefighters have been shown in meta-analyses to have an increased incidence of prostate cancer (PCa) compared with the general population.

Patricia’s own struggles and conversations with other businesswomen with cancer taught her that there are challenges and fears uniquely experienced by women who have reached a pinnacle in their personal and professional life.
✨A few highlights from the show:

A Seasoned Medical Oncologist Explains Why Cancer Still Sucks with David J. Stewart, MD, FRCPC
Dr. David Stewart trained in medical oncology at MD Anderson Hospital in Houston from 1976 to 1978 and then joined the staff at MD Anderson. He returned to Ottawa Canada in 1980, moved back to MD Anderson in 2003, and then again moved back to Ottawa Canada in 2011 as a Professor of Medicine and Head of the Division of Medical Oncology. Since completing his term as a division head in 2019, he has continued to teach and practice oncology in Ottawa. He recently wrote the book A Short Primer on Why Cancer Still Sucks. It is intended for cancer patients, other members of the public, and non-oncology healthcare professionals.
✨A few highlights from the show:
1. The first reason that cancer still sucks is that it is everywhere. You can contract it no matter how healthy your lifestyle is or how pure your family history is.
2. A blood test such as a circulating tumor cell test detects cancer cells in your blood. The cells might be in the blood if they've broken away from where they started and are spreading to other parts of the body.
3. The US and Canadian healthcare systems each have strengths and weaknesses that help and hinder cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.

Two-Time Cancer Survivor and Cancer Whisperer Who Beat the Odds to Shine Brightly and Share Hope with Howard S. Brown
Howard Brown is an author, Silicon Valley entrepreneur, interfaith peacemaker, two-time stage IV cancer survivor, and healthcare advocate. For over three decades, Howard’s business innovations, leadership principles, mentoring, and resilience in beating cancer against long odds have made him a sought-after speaker and consultant for businesses, nonprofits, congregations, and community groups. His hard-earned wisdom about resilience after beating cancer twice has led him to become a nationally known patient advocate and “cancer whisperer” to many families. Howard, his wife Lisa, and his daughter Emily currently reside in Michigan.
✨A few highlights from the show:
1. Medical technologies that played a role in Howard's recovery and expanding his family: bone marrow transplant, In vitro fertilization (IVF)/Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS) and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC), scans to video, liquid biopsy, tumor burden, clinical trials, immunotherapy, and Interleukin-2
2. It is important that you, your loved ones or family, or a patient advocate ask about what medical technologies are available to treat the type of cancer that you have. As you can see from Howard's experience, there are many options that may help save your life and improve your quality of life.
3. Don't isolate yourself. Isolation brings darkness.
4. Call for help and hold on to hope.
5. Find your happy place and go there!

My Sister's Keeper Raising and Losing a Sister to Liver Cancer with Andrea Wilson Woods
Andrea Wilson Woods is a writer who loves to tell stories, and a patient advocate who founded the nonprofit Blue Faery: The Adrienne Wilson Liver Cancer Association. Andrea is the CEO and co-founder of Cancer University, a for-profit, social-impact, digital health company. Her best-selling and award-winning book, Better Off Bald: A Life in 147 Days, is a medical memoir about raising and losing her sister, Adrienne, to liver cancer.
✨A few highlights from the show:
1. Even if there is resistance from the provider and healthcare team, always ask questions. Ask many as you need to ask until you get the information that you need in a way that you understand it. Your life or your loved one's life can depend on it.
2. You have to be a force of nature. You have to stand up for the patient because the patient's focus needs to be on getting well and resting. Often the patient doesn't have the time or energy to participate in those conversations. So the caregiver, whether it's a spouse or a friend, or a parent or sibling, the onus is on the caregiver often to take charge.
3. Always keep track of your medical records. Keep them organized in a binder and in a place where you can easily access them. It is a good idea to have electronic and paper copies. Always keep a medical journal with your notes and observations.

Since 2015, Trish’s coached over 100 leaders to navigate the challenges of life and gain their inner power, balance, and direction to have success and joy in life again. She’s also facilitated dozens of workshops and been a keynote speaker to audiences across the US. Trish is also an author.

✨A few highlights from the show:
1. Cancer is a gift wrapped in sandpaper.

In 2011, I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma, out of the blue. I did not have any prior health concerns or issues. Fast forward, the dreaded cancer diagnosis opened my eyes, introduced me to my purpose, and lead me to where I am today.
As a Cancer Doula, I use my 11 years of experience with cancer to support and guide others diagnosed with cancer. Many people are not familiar with what a cancer doula is. Think of me as a personal patient advocate. Schedule a free 30-minute Meet and Greet call to learn more. https://bit.ly/OTOSDiscovery

A Four Time Cancer Survivor Shares How Her Approach to Treatment Changed and Why the Balm Box is the Functional Gift to Give with Liz Benditt
Elizabeth (Liz) Benditt, 4x survivor/thriver, Melanoma (2009), Thyroid (2010), Basel Cell (2015), Breast (2017)
Liz is currently President and CEO of The Balm Box, a self-care and gifting site for breast cancer patients. In addition to teaching undergraduate business marketing courses at the University of Kansas, Benditt also serves on the Education First Shawnee Mission board of directors and volunteers with National Charity League. She lives in the Kansas City suburbs with her husband and two children.
✨A few highlights from the show:
1. When you are diagnosed with cancer and making decisions about treatment, ask a lot of questions, take time to understand your treatment plan, and think about what is right for you and the quality of life that you want.
2. When making decisions about breast cancer treatment, ask what are the odds of recurrence with and without estrogen therapy.
3. People undergoing cancer treatment prefer functional items as gifts instead of inspirational items.

Personal Fears and Emotional Upsets How They Impact Couples and Marriages with Lane Stokes
Lane Stokes spent five years as an ordained minister before moving toward counseling. Unlike most ministers, he pursued mental health rather than pastoral counseling. He believed it would help him to better understand his clients in whatever type of therapy he would offer. In the past 34 years of private practice as a mental health clinician, and marriage and family counselor, he believes that he was correct in that assumption. During the first 32 years, he developed programs to make marriage counseling quicker and thus less expensive. Lane helps people understand how their emotions operate and how to control them to give the person a way to obtain their needs and desires. He made a big discovery that he now refers to as Counseling Condensed Courses. They can give the participant abilities in three to five sessions that it has taken others three to five years to learn. One of these is the course "Let Us Teach You How to be Married" for married or unmarried couples. Another is "How Others Perceive You".
✨A few highlights from the show:
1. Anxiety isn't a rooted emotion. The rooted emotion is fear.
2. Your personality changes right after you get married.
3. People don't go to counseling because they don't know what is possible in marriage.
